Dutch term or phrase: controlekamer
Some context:

'Bevind je je in een productie afdeling en hoor je het waarschuwingssignaal: stop onmiddellijk je werk, laat alles in een veilige toestand achter, en begeef je naar de controlekamer en vraag informatie.'

Now, my question is this. This 'controlekamer' doesn't seem to be an emergency call centre, or emergency services control room ... with telephone operators, etc.

So what exactly would you call it? A control room? Meeting point? Emergency station? Emergency centre? Control centre? Emergency control centre? Of staar ik me gewoon weer blind? Hmm.
